Chapter 283: Chapter 283 My Family Has an Older Sister
It’s strange how the heavens would bestow her with so many trials and tribulations, but fortunately, everything is in the past now, and she will have a good life ahead.
Gu Youyou set down the medicine bowl and, as if by magic, pulled out some candy, saying, "I knew the medicine would be bitter, so I prepared this."
It was candy she had made herself, very simple, just sugar mixed with sweet osmanthus, then wrapped in wax paper.
There was the sweetness of the sugar and the fragrance of the sweet osmanthus.
Gu Feng looked at it and, surprised, laughed, "I’m not a child, why do I need to eat candy?"
Gu Youyou replied, "Just now, Grandpa complained how bitter the medicine was, but with a piece of candy, it won’t taste bitter." Gu Youyou remembered when she was ill and had to take bitter medicine, Gu Feng secretly bought her candy.
Hearing Gu Youyou’s words, Gu Feng burst into hearty laughter, but perhaps he laughed too hard, he began to cough again.
Gu Youyou quickly patted his back to help him catch his breath.
Seeing Sanya peeking from the door, Gu Feng gradually stopped laughing.
He beckoned Sanya to come closer, and after hesitating for a moment while looking at Gu Youyou, Sanya finally walked in with small, tentative steps.
Gu Feng stroked Sanya’s head, then sighed, "What hardship haven’t I endured in my life? How could this little bitterness be difficult for me? I won’t eat the candy, give it to Sanya."
With that, he handed Gu Youyou’s candy to Sanya.
Sanya licked her lips, obviously wanting to eat it, but after looking at Gu Youyou, she dared not take it.
Mom said this was Ghost Sister and told her to stay away from her; if it wasn’t for Grandpa inviting her in, she wouldn’t have dared to come. She saw the candy was from Ghost Sister to Grandpa, so she didn’t dare to take it either.
Gu Youyou smiled at Sanya and said softly, "Sanya, if you want to eat, go ahead and eat. It’s my oversight, I will bring you something tasty tomorrow."
Even if the child’s aunt and uncle were not good people, it was not the child’s fault. Such a young child is the most innocent and kindhearted.
Encouraged by Gu Youyou’s words, Sanya’s eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, she grabbed the candy from Gu Feng’s hand.
Looking at the fearsome Ghost Sister, expectant eyes began to emerge.
Ghost Sister said she would bring me something tasty tomorrow.
Truth be told, she didn’t understand why her older brothers called the elder sister Ghost Sister, nor what Ghost Sister meant, only knowing that her mother said to stay away from her.
If Ghost Sister often brought Sanya tasty treats, she decided to not listen to her mother, at least when her mother wasn’t around, she didn’t have to stay away from Ghost Sister.
Sanya picked up a small piece of the cut candy and put it into her mouth, it was so sweet and fragrant, and the aroma of sweet osmanthus filled her mouth, it was much tastier than the candies her grandmother kept hidden.
After finishing one piece, she smiled at Gu Youyou and sweetly said, "Ghost Sister is really nice!"
Gu Feng’s face fell, and all signs of amusement vanished.
Gu Youyou had long grown accustomed to it—the names Ghost Sister and elder sister made no difference to her, hence she didn’t mind.
"Sanya, who told you to call her Ghost Sister?"
Gu Feng was somewhat angered.
Sanya’s big eyes looked up, seeming somewhat wronged.
Though young, she could tell her grandfather was angry.
However, Gu Youyou said, "It doesn’t matter, it’s just a name after all."
A child wouldn’t call someone by that name without reason; it was the adults who were like that. Could she possibly haggle with a child who didn’t understand anything? Besides, she truly didn’t mind.
"Sanya, go and play. Grandpa is ill, you can’t be noisy."
Hearing Gu Youyou’s words, Sanya hugged the remaining candy and dashed off on her small legs.
Gu Feng sighed deeply, about to say something, then opening his mouth but not speaking, he sighed again, and the words that finally came out were different from what he intended.
